Membership Spotlight
  
My name is Felicia Michie, and I’m the vice president of platform partnerships at We Know Training (WKT). WKT is a full-service partner for online training solutions, and we specialize in helping associations and regulators create and monetize best-in-class training programs.

I joined CSAE because I partner closely with many association leaders and I want to have an ear to the ground on what their needs are, what challenges they’re facing, and what emerging trends are disrupting the status quo and creating new opportunities. I’m so looking forward to meeting many of my fellow members in person at the CSAE Conference this November in Montreal.

I’m always happy to connect on LinkedIn – let’s get in touch!

Featured Corporate Partner: Québec City Business Destination

Imagine, you’re sitting in a plenary room, listening to an expert researcher presenting his latest findings. The session is over and you rush to the riverbank to watch athletes paddle through the ice, jumping in and out of their canoe to reach the finish line. As a backdrop, a majestic building proudly sits atop a cape, while the crowd below cheers enthusiastically.

A few hours later, you’re enjoying an evening in an historical venue, surrounded by your fellow event participants. You’re eating a delightful meal, full of sumptuous flavours, a truly inspired affair. Your jaw drops when you see the violinist perform skyjacked and upside down right above your head.

There is only one city capable of hosting such a memorable event. Unique in its history, but also in its joie de vivre, Québec City is a Canadian destination like no other. Meet Chef Meesen, the Painchaud family, Professor Normand Voyer and the Québec City Business Destination ice-canoe team to learn more about the place they call home.
